BERLIN (REUTERS) - Former US vice-president Al Gore suggested on Tuesday that the presidency of Mr Donald Trump could end prematurely for "ethical reasons", drawing laughter from a packed movie theatre at the European premiere of his latest film on climate change.

"We're only six months into the experiment with Trump. Some experiments are ended early for ethical reasons," Mr Gore said, acknowledging the "provocative" nature of his comment.

Mr Gore said he was convinced that US cities, states and business executives would meet US obligations under the 2015 Paris agreement to fight climate change, despite Mr Trump's decision in June to withdraw from the global pact.

"We have a global agreement and the American people are part of this agreement in spite of Donald Trump," he told hundreds of movie-goers at Berlin's Zoo Palast cinema after a showing of his new film, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.....

There is no doubt about that, because socialism simply doesn’t work. Even the places with the “best” results (the happiest people) have birthrates that are far too low to sustain them - and that is the trade-off. What makes people “happy” in the short run has devastating demographic consequences fairly quickly (see Islamic invasion of Scandinavia).

Also, destroying profit motive and removing the incentive to work creates a system with 90% of the population on the wagon with the remaining 10% pulling.
